Honestly, this was the best hostel I have ever visited. Everything was clean and tidy, and we had all the equipment we needed. Staff working there were friendly and responsible, and there were also security at the door in the evening to prevent non-residents from entering. The bar and public spaces were amazing too.

I really enjoyed my - unfortunately - very short stay here. Absolutely amazing staff - I had the pleasure to talk to John, Ludmilla and Eduarda - who is very patient and helpful. In case I come back to Dublin again, I know where to go. Also a big plus: You can find an absolutely amazing Pub, "Cumiskey's", just around the corner.

The location of the hostel is very good. You can walk there from the bus station. There are several fast food restaurants and small supermarkets around, which is very convenient. The meeting point for the scheduled one-day tour is right at the door. The four of us booked rooms three times. David also helped us arrange a room and helped us when we didn't know how to use the washing machine. It is also very convenient for the children to go to the kitchen on the first floor to make breakfast. In short, it is worth it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location for town, we got upgraded from a private twin room with a shared bathroom to a private 4 bed dorm with an en-suite. The room was clean, beds comfy and the staff were really friendly. The breakfast was good, just toast, cold meat, cheese, fruit, salad and soup but a great addition to the already cheap stay.

    Good value for money, in that it was cheap and right beside Connolly station. Clean, with a comfortable bed and warm water in the shower. There's a nice bar in the foyer area and they serve good food too. Overall, a good hostel if you're on a budget.

    Think youth hostel, dormitories, study rooms, multi cubicle showers and toilets, kitchen, laundry, helpful staff, cafe. Quiet safe clean rooms, solid enclosed bunks with a comfy mattress, shelf, light and charger inside the bunk and a curtain to for privacy. Also a locker/drawer under the bunk for stuff. Didn't hear any noise from any other guest during the night Staff friendly, helpful and efficient Nice area for cafe, old stained glass architecture, relaxed with other guests Outside garden for relaxing, chilled

    Best hostel I have ever stayed in. Really clean and comfortable. The bunk bed set up is brilliant - all feels very private and safe. It was quiet at night, I never had to queue for the showers and the lounge / dining and study rooms are excellent. It’s a short walk into town and right by a bus stop. Lots of nice places to eat and drink just minutes away.
